For reference (and I don't really know much about it): Taiwan and mainland China have had some massive beef with each other for the past seven or so decades. Basically, mainland China's former government (the 'Republic of China' - ROC) lost to the Communist Party and fled to Taiwan in the 1940's, thereafter claiming that it still represented of the whole of China. The government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), of course, disagreed, and claims sovereignty over both regions. Basically they both claim to govern the same territory. It's really frickin complicated and that's all I know about the matter, but yeah, fun facts: that's why the mainland Chinese flag on this poll is 'PRC' and the Taiwan flag is 'ROC'.
Honestly don't much like the dragons because a flag shouldn't be that complicated. Both mainland China and Taiwan's flags are nice.
So yeah I know it wasn't political, but I was just people giving background as to why one flag is the 'Republic of China' and why another is the 'The People's Republic of China', coz it's interesting.
I'm not anti-China at all. For the record, I think they actually cop unfair flak in Western media. I don't have much of an opinion of the China-Taiwan-Hong Kong issue because I don't know enough about it to take any sort of educated position.
Lol I love dragons, I'm just not a fan of them being on national flags because of a personal preference for flags being simple and geometric. This is coming from someone who thinks the Australian flag is shitty coz it's too complicated lol (also it has another country's flag on it... but that's a tale for another time). Side note, it's why I said I liked both the current PRC China and Taiwan flags - simple yet expressive. I like dragons in literally any other context.
Sorry I wasn't clear.
